Preface A leisurely summer day
May 2nd
This year's summer started very early, and it was already extremely hot in May.
Most of the people on the street looked irritable, their faces were sweaty and tearful, and they hurried by with umbrellas to shade the sun...... []
On the 69th floor of Huaxing Building, the elevator opens.
"Woo~~ Xiaoyin, come out quickly. It's been so hot lately!If you didn't want to buy ice cream, I wouldn't want to go out of the '69 Hall'~~" Wearing a white cool vest, Mo Li was holding the ice cream he had just bought. As soon as she entered, she complained loudly about the recent ghost weather.
The 'Hall of Sixty-Nine' is isolated from the present world, and the temperature inside does not change, and it remains at a comfortable temperature all year round. But the red sun in the sky was so blazing that even if you couldn't feel the temperature, you would be reborn and irritable under the illumination of that light. In this case, eating some ice cream is of great scientific value.
...... That, having said so much, in fact, the most important reason is: these two little ghosts are greedy~
After entering the sixth and ninth floors, Mo Li took off the vest on his body with his hands and feet, leaving only a bulging small corset.
"Xiaoyin, come and eat ice cream~ Otherwise, don't ...... Isn't it?!" Just as she entered the office, the scene in front of her made her collapse.
I saw that Xiao Yin and Xiao Rin were already sitting leisurely by the window, looking at the hot people on the street with great interest.
That's fine, but they're holding ice cream in their hands, right!!
"Xiaoli want to eat together, I just passed by the supermarket, so I'll bring you some. I didn't expect you to go by yourself...... What a good boy~~" Although this seems to be a compliment, what do you mean by deliberately licking the ice cream!
"Stimulate me, you must be stimulating me...... I knew I had just gone out and bought it!"
"It's not, it's just a coincidence~~"
"You two don't talk about it!Xiao Li, you put those in the refrigerator first, there is not too much ice cream anyway~" Xiao Yin said while stretching out her little tongue and licking the ice cream.
"Alas, I wouldn't have gone out if I had known~ Rin would have brought it anyway. "Someone who is downcast makes a state of loss.
"Okay, okay, don't do this, there's still a watermelon in the fridge, it should be cold now. Xiao Rin by the window took a big bite of ice cream and pointed in the direction of the refrigerator. Then he added a sentence very casually: "Well, remember to help me get some, it's really hot today, a good weather to sleep on~~"
"Soul light, you said this because you don't want to move, what a lazy guy. Xiaoli complained loudly, but walked out anyway. How to say it, this guy is obviously over-energetic, even in the summer, she still runs around, not afraid of the heat at all.
"What's the matter, are you going to go anyway~"
............
"Sure enough, the chilled ones are delicious~" Xiao Rin took a slice of cut watermelon handed over by Xiao Li, and took a big bite on the red melon flesh, the cool and sweet taste in her mouth made her squint her eyes with satisfaction.
"Mm-hmm, that's true. ”
Xiao Li sat on a chair rather unladylikely, propped up on the backrest, holding a piece of watermelon and biting it.
"By the way, did the commissions you received a few days ago go to investigate?"
"Well, Xiao Yin and I went there yesterday. Alas, those guys are all making things up! Only one of the five commissions actually has a full-fledged dryad, or the kind of ...... that has just turned on its minds."
"Oh, what did you and Xiao Yin do later?" Rin asked, a little curious.
"Hmph, according to what I mean, that little thing just doesn't have to pay attention to at all. It didn't affect people at all, but Xiao Yin insisted on transferring the little tree demon to a mountain forest rich in spiritual energy, causing me to walk all day yesterday~"
"Hehe, I've seen that Xiao Yin is really more reliable than you~"
"The soul is light, I'm also very reliable, okay!!"
"Really?"
Rin was eating watermelon while arguing with Xiaoli, and the small sound of "popping and popping" in the process again never stopped.
And Xiao Yin, who was sitting next to them, held a piece of watermelon with a black face and didn't eat it for a long time.
'Touch!' Her face became darker and darker, and Xiao Yin, who was at the limit of the accumulation of anger in her heart, finally broke out!
The clenched fist slammed down on the table, and yelled with a black face: "You two guys, since you don't plan to clean up, don't spit out watermelon seeds!"
"Aha?"
“...... Rin, it's dangerous here, so let's go out and eat. Pouting, Xiao Li jumped up from his chair.
And Rin replied with a big smile: "Xiaoli, I found that you have become smarter~~"
Looking at Xiao Yin's increasingly dark face again, Rin hurriedly said, "It's my fault for disturbing you to clean, let's go out!" After speaking, he ran out with the watermelon that had not yet been eaten.
"These two guys!!!I must go out by myself for a few days another day, and let you clean up by yourself!!" Looking at the two guys who quickly slipped out, Xiao Yin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Subsequently......
She skillfully picked up the towel and cleaned up the watermelon seeds on the table.
After sweeping and seeing a little dust on the floor, she started cleaning the whole room again.
Xiao Yin - Looks a little clean!
............
Outside the office, the two moved a few chairs and lay down, chatting leisurely.
"By the way, I just took a look, isn't there a bit of a lot of commissions we've received recently?"
"It seems that there is a trend. However, it is true that there are more commissions, but the number of real cases has not increased. Lying on a few patchwork chairs, Xiao Li turned around and adjusted the position to be comfortable: "After we went, there were only a few who were really abnormal. ”
"That's right...... Pay attention in the future, if there is anything abnormal, be careful yourself, and try to inform me. ”
"I said, Rin, I always feel that since the incident in Nanya City, you have become a little wordy, so you are so worried about us?"
“...... Probably~ Hey, I might be suspicious. Ever since last time, I've been wondering what if you get injured at work in the future. Rin, who was lying side by side in several other chairs, reached out and rubbed Xiaoli's head, and said, "In that case, I'll be sad." ”
"Don't rub my head, I'm not a kid anymore!" Xiao Li slapped Rin's hand away and said angrily.
"But if you're worried about this, don't worry, with Xiaoyin here, we'll be fine. ”
"I hope so. ”
.........
"Okay, you guys come in" Xiao Yin had already cleaned up the room and came out to call the two of them in.
"But if anyone gets dirty again, clean it up by themselves, I won't help!"
"Yes~~" replied in unison, and the two smiled at each other.
"Sure enough, the days with Xiao Yin are easy~" Xiao Li sighed as he looked at the room that had become clean again, picked up the whole person, and threw himself on the sofa.
"You guy, just be honest~~" Rin stuffed a piece of watermelon cut into small pieces into Mo Li's mouth, and walked towards a closed room: "I'll go see Ning, it's another annoying guy~"
"What do you call again!"
"Let's leave it for myself......"
"By the way, Xiaoli, why isn't the kitten here today?
"Probably~ That little thing has been going out for a long time lately, and I don't know where to play yet. Xiao Li, who was still looking crazy, quieted down, looked at the quiet room and whispered: "It's really a little unaccustomed to making trouble without it......"
"That's right, Xiao Yin should think the same way. He glanced at her with deep meaning, and Rin flashed directly.
"Huh?"
...........................................................................................................................
After walking out of the secretariat, Rin was dressed in cool clothes and walked towards a large bookstore not far away.
Recently, she has been spending a lot less time in the Secretariat. After such a long period of study, Xiao Yin Moli has already been a lot, and she intervenes in general things to complete the work she has assigned.
There is a huge flow of people in Fenghua City, but the traffic of this bookstore is not much.
After thinking about it, Xiao Rin shook his head with relief: "It's already May, how hot the weather is, it's not unusual for fewer people to come to the bookstore." Those students are probably preparing for their final exams. Senior year of high school, college entrance examination. How did you get here? Alas, it's been a long time since I forgot it......"
"Go for it, young imps~~"
Flipping through a few books at random, Xiao Rin was full of boundless nonsense in his mind.
Nothing to gain, after reading a rather interesting comic, Rin walked away without discipline......
I went out to work today, and I heard that there was a guy from the underworld hanging around in Shanghai, and he was thinking about it, and he was going to go over to communicate with her. Since Moon wasn't at home, Rin wasn't in the mood to go to great lengths to prepare some dishes. The noon that was originally with the moon was completely idle.
Take a leisurely stroll around the streets, wander around, and see if anything unusual is happening in the city.
After walking along the river for a long time, she leisurely walked down the guardrail by the river, raising her head slightly to meet the hot wind.
Although the hot weather does not make her uncomfortable, it makes people feel bad when it is too crowded. This kind of quieter place is more of a place that she likes.
"How's it going?" Xiao Rin asked in a low voice looking at the wide river in front of him.
"Not bad, are you?
After a series of blisters, a small fish about 10 centimeters long, light blue, with a long tail appeared on the surface of the river in front of me.
After flicking her tail, a little girl about three or four centimeters tall with long light blue hair jumped on her shoulder: "Rin, I'm a little envious of you, always so leisurely." I still have a lot of work to do, otherwise I won't be able to support myself!"
"Hmph, who said I'm leisurely, in fact, I'm also very busy, okay!"
"What are you busy with?"
“...... Of course, it's work, and there are a lot of things to do in the Netherworld Affairs Department~" With a wave of his hand, Rin didn't care about the little goblin on his shoulder, looking at the secluded river in a daze. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and asked, "Lan'er, have there been any new monsters in this city recently, or have any new monsters been born?"
Lan Er's name is Lan Xin, who moved to this city fifteen years ago and is one of the eight shapeshifting monsters that have settled in this city.
The two knew each other when Xiao Rin rectified Fenghua City the year before last, and through it, some of Xiao Rin's rules could spread normally among the aliens in Fenghua City. Of course, there were many outliers who didn't obey or even ignored it at the beginning, but they were all disposed of by Rin.
"Ha ......" looked at her puzzled: "Rin, do you care about this kind of thing too?" I remember that after you left a few rules, you ignored the monsters in this city......
"Just ask to pass the time, you just say~"
Lan Er lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Well, there is a transformed wolf demon from the transportation company in the west of the city, and a new resident of the Xingyu Mansion is a vampire from the West. By the way, there is a new flower demon not far away who is opening a flower shop...... Mmmmmm,That's the equivalent of the transformation of the monsters.,The rest of the little monsters aren't very clear.。 ”
In the five million Fenghua City, there are also a lot of mixed non-human existences, but they are usually hidden under common sense.
"But they know that you are the master of the city, and they are following the rules you have set. You're not going to take them in, are you?" the little girl asked a little nervously, looking at Rin. Although this guy in front of her looks harmless to humans and animals, if she really starts a fire, the aliens in this city will die!
"Hehe, no, just learn about it casually. Rin waved her hand, she didn't mean it at all, she didn't discriminate against aliens. You know, it's tiring to do that.
"Of course, if someone challenges me, it will be even better, and the event is not bad~"
"Rin......" Lan Er looked at her and said slowly, "The human being who was with you is not here, are you broken?"
"It's not...... It's just a bit boring today~"
- Rin learned from this little goblin about some of the monsters in Fenghua City, and the sun had already set.
"Okay, I'm going to work, so I'll go first. ”
"Don't, talk to me for a while. ”
"I'm not as laid-back as you!!" Hearing this, Lan Er suddenly became annoyed, pointed at her and yelled: "Work, because of the rules you set, we monsters must also integrate into this city." If you want to live in the city, you have to have money, and if you want to get money, you have to work. And the work ...... It's very tiring!!"
"Okay, go to your café another day. Remember to treat yourself~"
"Please, I haven't seen you a few times in a long time. Glancing at her angrily, Lan'er jumped into the river.
The person is gone, and the person becomes a person.
Rin sat down bored again, and when the sun had completely set, she turned around and went home.
"It's so laid-back, it's boring...... If the moon is not there, time flies so slowly!!"
